A quantum random number generator (QRNG) based on a silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) light emitting device (LED) coupled with a silicon single photon avalanche photodiode (Si-SPAD) is presented. A simple setup is used for the generation of random bits. The modeled approach assures a negligible bias on datasets of [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
